Fancy Friday is coming early to you this week. Why? May Long Weekend. Usually the official kick-off of the camping season and much loved farmers markets. We will be out of the office tomorrow. What are you doing this weekend? I hope you take time to get outside, get some sun and maybe even hit the road to explore some place new. This week's Fancy Friday is inspired by my ongoing love for retro Volkswagen vans. I'm the girl who jumps and claps in her seat every time I see one on the road. There are quite a few where we live and I'd love to join the club one day :) Enjoy your long weekend! You can download this VW van pattern right here to fancy up your desktop.

I had so much fun creating a greeting card set for Christie recently. She is a girl who loves writing, all things vintage, and emerald green. I illustrated two cards for her, resulting in two versatile designs that are simple, fun, and very "Christie."
If you would like to learn more about this lady, pay a visit to her witty and insightful blog at christiethinks.wordpress.com When is the last time you took the time to write someone a note? We constantly drop emails and facebook messages, but it is sometimes nice (or more appropriate) to pick up a pen and write a message by hand. Try it. I bet the person on the other end of the mailbox will be delighted! This morning I had intended to do some meal planning, when my hunger mixed with my pen and I started drawing instead. We consume a lot of fruit and veggies in our house. Tylor and I hit the market at least once a week to stock up. We're loving the new area that we live in, which is full of year-round farmers markets, and locally grown goods. We have a few staples that we always get on our grocery runs and are always looking for something new. Has anybody else been a little nutty with kale chips lately? And really, what ISN'T good with avocado?
We picked up some mustard greens today... that's a new one for us. What are some of your fruit and veggie must-haves? And have you been bizarrely surprised with something healthy and new lately? This week's Fancy Friday inspired by our neighbour's sheep. I like to watch him out my window – he is so cute! Be glad that is is the weekend! Download the sheep for your desktop right here.
Happy Friday! Mother's Day is Sunday May, 12 this year. That is coming quickly. If you are like me, you often forget this day until it sneaks up in your calendar and you see it the day before. I end up scrambling, and feel like what I give is not as good as it could have been if I had planned. This year, I'm on it. Something creative, useful, unique and pretty. Something not too expensive, and something my mom will likely keep for years. I'm designing her an address stamp, and this is why your mom probably needs one too. (Hopefully you aren't reading this mom...)
